Trading up in the third round to acquire WR Miles Boykin did not pan out. This past season, he was one of the better players at his position in the NFL and ultimately priced himself out of the Ravens’ price range in free agency. Powers started seven of 16 games in his sophomore season before becoming a full-time starter at left guard in 20. G Ben Powers proved to be a strong value selection in the fourth round. In 2021, he caught a career-high 91 passes and became the first Ravens’ drafted wide receiver to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards since Torrey Smith. ![]() Before ultimately being traded last offseason, Brown’s production increased in each of his three seasons with the team. WR Marquise Brown was the selection at pick No. 22 overall in the first round before DeCosta traded back three spots and acquired an extra fourth and sixth-round pick. The Ravens were originally slotted to pick No. In DeCosta’s first draft as the general manager, the Ravens held no second-round picks but instead had multiple selections in the third and fourth rounds. They’ve long prioritized the draft as their premier roster-building mechanism.Īhead of the upcoming weekend, let’s take a look back at each of the Ravens’ draft classes since 2019 - when Eric DeCosta took over as the team’s General Manager - and revisit some of the team’s biggest hits and misses on picks.

Locales prone to wild fire now have fewer options for home insurance, with carriers pulling out of California. The CZU Lightning Complex fires claim a carport and trailer in the Boulder Creek area of the Santa Cruz Mountains in August 2020. ![]() In the Santa Cruz mountains, however, realtors are more nervous about the potential impacts, especially given the continued risk of wildfire.īy and large, State Farm and Farmers Insurance have been the only two brand-name insurance companies that are still offering policies for mountain homes - with only the former offering conventional plans that cover fire insurance, said Tim Huxley, a real estate agent with Room Real Estate, which is based in Santa Cruz County. In Santa Rosa, where the Tubbs Fire caused devastation in 2017, it hasn’t been too hard to find an insurer willing to cover most homes, though new homeowners now may have to do more searching and be willing to pay higher premiums without State Farm and Allstate as an option, Francavilla said. Homeowners insurance isn’t required by law in California, but most mortgages require it as a condition of the loan. “But we’re still seeing multiple offers and above-asking prices.” “We thought with the increase in interest rates, momentum would slow down,” said Logan Francavilla, a real estate agent with the Santa Rosa-based Prosper Real Estate Team.

It took me a while to figure it out and that can be very damaging if you’re running a business. There are other threats as well: once I had made the mistake of assigning two different apps to the same port, and of course, none of them worked anymore. If you don’t configure your firewall correctly, it can cut off important services from connecting to the Internet. There is also the issue of port forwarding rules for your firewall. Without defining which port the data should go through, you can do none of these things. Also, as part of added security measures, you may have to change the default SSH port, adding an extra challenge to any would-be hackers. The Secure Shell connection uses a specific port that has to be opened by the firewall. Of course, there is the most well-known use of port forwarding, the SSH connection. Port forwarding is vital if you’re planning on hosting an online game or using a specific application to share your remote desktop. But what if you want to let some communication get through?Ĭheck out our affordable Windows VPS plans, featuring powerful hardware, minimal latency, and a free Windows of your choice! Claim your Free Windows Why is Port Forwarding Important? Of course, you can always take a more active role and scan your ports using Netcat listener. Together, they provide an extra layer of security against hackers or DDoS (direct denial of service) attacks. This is made even safer by your firewall, which effectively blocks all but a few ports, stopping communication. If a host on the external network wants to connect to one of your devices on the internal network, it has to know what IP address and port that device is using to connect to the router. Standing between the two are routers or Network Address Translators, which allow internal computers to communicate with outside services (like web services) while staying hidden. These are, of course, external addresses (and ports, when communication is involved). On the Internet, however, there are servers and routers and other devices and these are identified with a set of unique, fixed IP addresses. Most of these addresses are by default something like 192.168.1.1, meaning they are far from unique. ![]() But all these are internal addresses, valid only in your Local Area Network (LAN). Each of these has its own IP address and each communicates using different ports. Your local network, for example, is made up of your laptop, your printer, a webcast device, a smart TV, your WiFi-connected phone, etc. ![]() You may also want to change the remote desktop port for your Windows VPS. While an IP address is a way to find individual devices, a port identifies the services or applications that the device is running on the network. Why would anyone want to do that? It’s because one of the two pairs is external and the other internal. On paper, at least, port forwarding is easy enough to define: it’s mapping an IP address and port number to another IP address and another port number. Port forwarding may seem a complicated concept from a user’s nightmares or as simple as a few clicks, depending on what you are going to do with it. ![]() 4 You’re Done - or Are You?

I'm resurrecting this issue because I'm really kind of aggravated that when I have serious Excel work to do for my personal life, I do it on my work computer because the mouse/menu approach is so much slower. I''ve always had Macs at home, and mostly Windows at work (except for two companies. Sort of the world's largest collection of Easter Eggs. They're not documented anymore since there are no "menus" with the Ribbon. Fortunately in "Ribbon" versions of Office, you can still type most Alt key shortcuts from memory. Granted, Microsoft's new Ribbon interface (started on Office 2007 on Windows) seems to indicate the world thinks more GUI is needed, but I've yet to find an expert user who doesn't hate it. With Windows Alt key navigation, you can navigate by touch typing even if you're using an infrequently used menu combination by holding down the Alt key and reading the menu, seeing the shortcut (underlined letter), typing it, and moving on to the next submenu (or the next work task). In addition to just being faster, this approach is faster if you get "mouse fatigue" (eye strain or wrist/hand strain or both), especially on multiple and large displays at high resolution. Menu If you are used to using Excel and Excel shortcuts on Windows, when you switch to Macbook, you can hardly use those shortcuts again. WAO ( window/ arrange/h orizontal), and so on through tens or hundreds of very frequently used menu combinations. What I am looking for is some trickery, macro, add-in, something that replicates being able to hold down the "Alt" (option or command or control on the Mac) key and type TOG (for example), which will instantly execute toggling grid on or off (Tools/Option/Grid). When you need to pound in data, keeping your hands on the keyboard is always faster than typing, the mouse/eye, then hands back to typing, then mouse/eye. What I am interested in is leveraging keyboard commands, since although not GUI and oh-so-not-nouveau- cool, are the old fashioned way expert users get work done really fast. ![]() ![]() This question is application specific (Office) I know about OS system shortcuts (and use those often as well). I'm also not interested in the Accessibility feature (Ctrl-F2) which is very slow compared to direct access since you're essentially replicating a mouse action, rather than an actual keyboard shortcut. In Windows Excel 2003, you can access any menu command through the keyboard in a very efficient way.Ī lot of Mac people respond to Alt-key questions with the standard shortcuts (Command "O" is open) or thinking the problem is that there is user confusion because there is no Alt key ("it's the Option or Command key"). If you've never used Excel on a Windows machine, you will likely misunderstand this request (based on my review of Google search results). ![]() I am looking for Alt-key navigation for the Mac versions of Windows Office (at least as available through Windows Office 2003 versions).

These traits are dropped in the anime, for more comic relief. Similarly, while Soma and Agni always had shades of Funny Foreigner, manga Soma was also intelligent and aware and Agni picked up on more social cues.The problem stems from Grell having an increased role in the anime and the animators having less material to work off of at the time, and she was thus flanderized. ![]() Also, in the anime, Grell has a crush on Undertaker but in the manga, Grell took an immediate disliking to him.

Although this technique is still used to assess gene expression, it requires relatively large amounts of RNA and provides only qualitative or semi quantitative information of mRNA levels. In this method, purified RNA is separated by agarose gel electrophoresis, transferred to a solid matrix (such as a nylon membrane), and probed with a specific DNA or RNA probe that is complementary to the gene of interest. Northern blotting is often used to estimate the expression level of a gene by visualizing the abundance of its mRNA transcript in a sample. Older methods were used to measure mRNA abundance: differential display, RNase protection assay and northern blot. Quantitative PCR and DNA microarray are modern methodologies for studying gene expression. This measurement is made after each amplification cycle, and this is the reason why this method is called real time PCR (that is, immediate or simultaneous PCR). Quantitative PCR can also be applied to the detection and quantification of DNA in samples to determine the presence and abundance of a particular DNA sequence in these samples. The data thus generated can be analysed by computer software to calculate relative gene expression (or mRNA copy number) in several samples. This allows the rate of generation of the amplified product to be measured at each PCR cycle. A substance marked with a fluorophore is added to this mixture in a thermal cycler that contains sensors for measuring the fluorescence of the fluorophore after it has been excited at the required wavelength allowing the generation rate to be measured for one or more specific products. In order to amplify small amounts of DNA, the same methodology is used as in conventional PCR using a DNA template, at least one pair of specific primers, deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates, a suitable buffer solution and a thermo-stable DNA polymerase. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a common method for amplifying DNA for RNA-based PCR the RNA sample is first reverse-transcribed to complementary DNA (cDNA) with reverse transcriptase. In order to robustly detect and quantify gene expression from small amounts of RNA, amplification of the gene transcript is necessary. Real time PCR uses fluorophores in order to detect levels of gene expression.Ĭells in all organisms regulate gene expression by turnover of gene transcripts (single stranded RNA): The amount of an expressed gene in a cell can be measured by the number of copies of an RNA transcript of that gene present in a sample. The acronym "RT-PCR" commonly denotes reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and not real-time PCR, but not all authors adhere to this convention. The Minimum Information for Publication of Quantitative Real-Time PCR Experiments ( MIQE) guidelines propose that the abbreviation qPCR be used for quantitative real-time PCR and that RT-qPCR be used for reverse transcription–qPCR. Two common methods for the detection of PCR products in real-time PCR are (1) non-specific fluorescent dyes that intercalate with any double-stranded DNA and (2) sequence-specific DNA probes consisting of oligonucleotides that are labelled with a fluorescent reporter, which permits detection only after hybridization of the probe with its complementary sequence. Real-time PCR can be used quantitatively and semi-quantitatively (i.e., above/below a certain amount of DNA molecules). It monitors the amplification of a targeted DNA molecule during the PCR (i.e., in real time), not at its end, as in conventional PCR. ![]() Melting curve produced at the end of real-time PCRĪ real-time polymerase chain reaction ( real-time PCR, or qPCR when used quantitatively) is a laboratory technique of molecular biology based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). ![]() ![]() ![]() I like that this is an app rather than a website.
